I’d like to point out something very important here. Jinyan has been
blogging all month on her MSN Spaces blog. It has not been blocked to
readers inside China.

I don’t know whether Microsoft received any calls or requests from
Chinese authorities to block her blog to access from Chinese ISP’s (in
keeping with their current censorship mechanismseen in action here).
But in any case, it’s a good sign that MSN is providing a space for
human rights activism in China. I hope they will continue to do so.

I’m also happy to see MSN Spaces hosted his wife’s blog.
I hope the Chinese government can see that they can put up with all
sorts of people saying all sorts of things. Some will be nice (thanks Don Dodge!) Some won’t be.

In the last year, HP has put out many more converged devices than it has traditional handhelds like the hx4700.
